You know what is fucked? People have been saying the same shit for centuries. FDR even had a radio announcement where he responded to the claim that if you raise the taxes on the rich they will simply pack up and go. He said 'well then... so long!'

And they never did btw. Where are they going to go anyway?

Its pretty bizarre to treat rich people like they're some incredible credit to their communities simply for existing. Does the money rub off on people near them or something?

No no, it doesn't rub, it trickles. 🙄

They really do believe that having a lot of money is divine providence and that it means they are blessed by God.
